i love nc state.
i love tailgating.
i do not love fire ants.
last year, nc state played william and mary on a very hot saturday afternoon. while tailgating prior to game time, i was bitten by about 30 fire ants. long story short, there was an allergic reaction, ridiculous amounts of unfortunate swelling, an ambulance ride,drugs,drugs,drugs, and a panic attack (though the panic attack was because i was not going to let the doctors keep me from going to the second half even though my eyes were nearly swollen shut...and i won that battle thank you very much).
this year, i decided that i'd like to make any life threatening actions at football games involve tearing down goal posts or a fist fight with the opposing fans.
i went to an allergist and found out (duh) that i'm allergic to the fire ants. and i have to undergo 5 years of immunotherapy to be completely immunized.
in the meantime, the allergist said that i have to carry benadryl, an epipen, and wear boots to tailgate. boots.
now, you all know that i'm not really a boot-wearin kind of tailgater. but i figured now that i'm workin at farm bureau and lovin the south more than ever, i might as well cross over.
this however does not mean i will start listening to country music. one step at a time.
i went and bought these boots yesterday. i'm in love with them. love. i wore them around the apt. last night in gym shorts and a pj shirt lookin real classy.
'tis the season for football. and i'm ready. epipen and all.

ReplyDeletefirst of all, i LOVE the boots.
ReplyDeletei love the you're converting to country. i knew you'd get there someday.
and, lastly, you wearing your boots with your pjs is totally something we would have done freshman year. in fact, i think i went to the c-store multiple times in some sort of ridiculous get-up that i'm sure involved boots and pjs at some point :)
